JOHN YOUNG: “The president said it's like a war. We ought to treat it like a war.”

The federal government is not only not helping us. They're actually hurting us now and preventing us from protecting ourselves.

These people would rather be working. But, since they have lost their jobs and their livelihood because of BP's negligence, they ought to be putting the money in their pockets, instead of putting it in a public relations campaign.

I think we are spending more and the costs are growing unacceptably.

I want to be on the record--this is a disaster waiting to happen.
